While this may help in the short term, the problem is not going to go away and a long-term ban is not feasible, says Winde.

Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has warned President Cyril Ramaphosa the new booze ban may inflict wounds on the economy and kill jobs – and drive the sale of alcohol “underground”.

“The consequences of this jobs crisis are severe. It is causing a humanitarian crisis that will impact our poorest and most vulnerable residents. This has very real health consequence and it will also cost lives.” “This has put additional strain on our healthcare system, especially in our high care and ICU units where we are trying to save the lives of those people infected with Covid-19.”

Winde said the Western Cape government had already launched an innovative project to lead “long-term behaviour change” around alcohol. He said there was sufficient evidence “leisure tourism accommodation that can open safely, following proper safety protocols, should be allowed to do so.
